First Happy 4th. I am spending mine under the car. I am trying to finally get front brakes. Right now I have none. I am trying to properly bleed the system. I replaced the front brake master c....
Mark,
I do not have an answer to your question but if we keep this thread alive long enough, sooner or later, someone will step up to the plate. I documented my build as I am sure others did, but...
Alan,
Would you update us please on Jerrod since he has been home.
Thanks.
Garry,
Nice car. '08? Where have you been?
I hope there is a market for orange cobras out there right now. I have my 427S/C on cobra country. I would appreciate any other possible selling sources or tell your neighbors you want them to add...
Gordon,
I have the DPK and Unique sent mine out for paint. No regrets here. I did the finish with the body on. Wiring was not too difficult. You are under the car quite a bit but I now know every...
Hello All,
Why is it that everytime I go for a short ride someone pulls up beside me and really expects me to race them. My last two rides included a Mustang with the "tuned" sounding exhaust and...
Frank,
Welcome to our forum. I am not in the Greensboro area but this forum can answer so many questions for you. The search feature is very helpful and you will find that any Unique owner will...
Hello all,
I have an engine related question. My engine is the SA 406 with 280 miles. I noticed today what appears to be an oil build up around the distributor shaft on the intake manifold. It...
Eddie,
My build finish (never reaches 100% complete) is fairly fresh so I remember the wiring harness install clearly. It requires quite a bit of fore-thought. You should have no length issues...
I have 200 miles on the car and have from day one had brake fluid leaking out of the Wilwood masters. One maybe two leak, the clutch and front brake units. I use their 570 fluid. Everytime I come in...
JS,
I used the kit from Summit and it worked fine with the SW gauge. By the time I routed the line to hide it from view, I did not end up with any extra behind the dash. Hope this helps.

OK, where is the 18" wheel option because that is what I am rolling in mine.
In talking to "Dr. Cobra" (aka Alan), we were discussing the soon to be here Homecoming event. Although I have been before, never as a car owner. My situation is that I am relocating and living in Ft...
Jim,
I just finished going through the nightmare of tranny remove because of quality control issues with Tremec and Mcleod. The tranny has been out two times with the car just on jack stands....
Has anyone experienced a voltage regulator that is not working when you first fire the beast up and then within minutes is working fine? I have an SA 406. It has hpaaened the last three starts. I...
Terry,
Congratulations on building a very nice website. We "Uniquers" must continue to provide you with content upon request.
Good luck.

Rosco,
This is just the first if 1000 questions you will ask that you think you should know the answer to. Ask anyway. I kept 8 jack stands under my car during the build. Even those that assume...
Terry,
I will send you a few photos tonight. Thanks for carrying the Unique flag.

Happy New Year's to All,
Has anyone applied epoxy to the inside of a Unique fender? I need to find out if there is a chance of bleed through to the painted side.
Thanks
Ric
Diegokid,
Welcome to the family. Buy a Unique. As far as engines, to each his own. I just finished my build that has a SA 406. It has the original cast heads and sounds incredible. I do not...
Hey Gang,
I have 40 miles on the break in of the car. Been working on ride height and the 18's have been a challenge to get the oil pan up and the stance looking "mean" on the car. I have 26 3/8...
Ralphscott,
I used a standard hole saw from Home Depot. 1 1/8th inch I believe. I taped the hole good and used WD-40 as I drilled. I drilled very slow so not to "burn" the aluminum. The key is...
Ralphscott,
The valve covers are the ones that came on the SA 406. They were blank so I ordered breathers from Jegs, drilled my own holes and installed. Very easy to do once you get past the idea...
